Written Answers. - Crime Levels.
I can inform the Deputy that indictable crime statistics can be found in the annual reports of An Garda Síochána, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. The most recent annual report details the crime statistics for 1998.
While provisional Garda crime statistics for 1999 have not yet been formally published, I am informed by the Garda authorities that 81,274 indictable offences were reported to them. I should stress that this figure is provisional and subject to revision.
